An animated banner will help make your site more attractive and visible to visitors. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the animation is in moderation and does not irritate the eyes. You can create an animation banner using Adobe Photoshop, and you can also animate a static image using the Ulead.
Necessary
- - Adobe Photoshop;
- - Ulead.
Instructions
Step 1
Install Adobe Photoshop on your computer. It can be downloaded from the official website or purchased from specialized stores. You should not use the free pirated versions, as they lack some useful functions and sections.
Step 2
Make it yourself or download a picture on the Internet, which will become the basis for the future animation banner. Then start Adobe Photoshop and click the Open button on the File menu. As a result, you will have a window with the desired image, which will need to be animated.
Step 3
Create layers. To do this, click on the "Layer" menu and select "New". A window with three tabs will appear. Go to the Layer tab and create as many layers as you need to match the number of text or movement in the animation. You can enter text for each layer by clicking on it with the left mouse button and going to the "Text" tool.
Step 4
Open the Edit Image Ready menu. To make changes, activate the eye icon and press the "Animation" button, create a duplicate of the current frame. Perform this operation for all layers of the banner. After that, specify the number of seconds for each frame and click on the "Always" button to select the cycle parameters. Play the animation to evaluate the result and make adjustments if necessary.
